I've found myself a new fandom. When I saw commercials for Sweeney Todd I thought it looked a little interesting and I wondered how I could go see it. It didn't look like the sort of thing my mom would like. It turns out my mom and I both want to see it Again. :P (Note: There could be spoilers after this point) I was kinda disappointed about the end. I was sorta "Wait, what? That's it?" I was really hoping it would be happy at the end, but I got the feeling that wasn't to be part way through. In the ninth grade my teacher said there were 3 types of plays: (which Sweeney Todd started off as if I'm not mistaken) Histories, Comedies, and Tragedies. The first is self explanatory, the second he said would end with a wedding, and the last would end with deaths, lots and lots of deaths. Seeing how this was about a murderous barber it was somewhat obvious what the result would be. At least I can hope Antony and Johanna had a happy ending, after she gets therapy for seeing Sweeney in such a state. I've obtained the soundtrack and I've been listening to it much too much. I particularly like the melody Antony sings at the very beginning in No Place Like London (and the rest of the song too) and the song My Friends is my favorite. Someone commented in their blog that when Alan Rickman/Judge Turpin began singing all they could think of was Severus Snape bursting out in song. An amusing thought, I'll never be able to think of Snape the same way again.
I was reading an article ( http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/weird/todd/index_1.html ) on the real Sweeney Todd. It's really long, but interesting. Of course not because of the whole revenge on a judge and irony of what happened to his wife thing. Though he did seem like he was getting back at the world for the lousy life he had. I read a little bit of a script somewhere on the Internet (I lost it, it had a hideous red background) I had no idea that they cut out so much of it. I also didn't know that barbers did stuff like pull teeth.

I just published my last post. Nice. (Sarcasm, to the oblivious) I guess I'll start with updates from the last post.
My facebook now shows my twitter (and therefore a link to it) and my twitter links to this blog. Wonder if that'll up the number of comments I get? Probably not.
I think I might be using my tablet more than I used to, but still not enough to the point I wonder when I'll need a new AAAA battery (no that isn't a typo, despite what the Firefox spell check says.)
I just discovered that indeed, I can charge my ZEN sleek photo with just the USB cord and port. Neat. I was given a ZEN Stone the other day. It's really tiny and doesn't use a hard drive, so I don't have to worry about rattling it around by running and stuff. It'll work out well for my gym class, except that for the next few unfortunate weeks I'll be swimming. No go on testing it out then.
Grr. >.< Another post left to rot. 12-28-07

Twitter And Other Various Websites I Go To Too Much
I've been using twitter way too much today. I found an add-on for firefox to post to it and have set up my GTalk and AIM accounts to post to it. If I can ever log into AIM on my phone like it's supposed to let me I'll be able to post from away from home and without a computer.
In other lame news, I'm trying to use my tablet more. Hopefully it'll help my decaying handwriting and crappy drawing skills. Too bad I probably wont keep it up.
I really wish gaia would end their events in the middle of the night. I hate it when one hour I'm happily collecting candy and the next it just randomly stops. Typing of gaia, they have an update about the Official Battle Website up. All I get when I go there is "Whoa! Battle website has some technical difficulties. Wait for a bit while we shuffle some files around. Back really soon -- enjoy the rest of Gaia while you wait." Way to put up the battle site gaia. I applaud you.
On facebook I've hit 100 books read on my visual bookshelf. Yay me. /sarcasm
I've listened to my House MD soundtrack about a bazillion times already. I really like Teardrop with the words. I want a Massive Attack CD. T.T I wonder why I haven't put House on my zen yet? Ah, 'cause I don't have any of the software installed! Yay me again!
Note: This is what happens when I don't post once I finish it. It rots. Today is the 25th. Oops.

Whee
This weekend was great. I only wish I had gotten to go to Youmacon, but it's ok. There's always next year. Besides, the event I wanted to go to most, cosplay shougi, was at four and Mer's birthday party at five.
What ended up actually happening is this. On Saturday, my mom and I went to Borders to get a gift card for my best friend. We got that and I walked out with the House MD Soundtrack. ^^ My mom got two CD's by people I don't know and a two-disc set of Debussy music. Debussy is the one who's music is used on the little five minute stargazer show they had between Red Green's. When we got home I was like "What time is it?" and I looked at my watch to discover it was 10 to five. Eeks. >.< At least she doesn't live far from my house, so it wasn't a big deal to drive me over there. Pizza and cake & ice cream are yummy. Later on, after some talking and working out who was coming and such, we went to the movie theater to see 30 Days of Night. Definitely not my sort of movie. Too much gore and death and did I mention gore? Our number slowly dwindled from seven down to three of us through out the night. I stayed over, which was fun. We talked most of the time, though when we woke up we had a little pillow fight. A rarity for me.
Today and a couple of days last week (since around Halloween) I've been attacking a guy in my computer class who is on Gaiaonline.com. He turned me today 'cause I only had two hearts left. I let it happen and just went to the human base to switch back. :p I have another hundred points to go before I reach slayer though.
I leveled up on the Ninja vs Pirate application to a 'Pirate Vixen' yesterday. W00t.
I've been using a lot of Google things lately. I've got a calendar with most of my favorite shows and other stuff going on, Reader is subscribed to most of my liked feeds, been using Gmail a lot and documents for school assignments a ton. Ah, and this blog? Google.
I sold a ticket to someone besides myself for the LAN party! W00t! And I've two others who might be coming, but I one said he wouldn't be able to get a ride. >.<
I keep using w00t, twice in this post alone. Grr. I saved this and came back to it and I have now reached the rank of Slayer on Gaia. Woot.

Of Space and Books
Yesterday I posted a space pic to DeviantArt. (Its at the end of the post.) The planet is the one I was making in my programming class and the rest I did last night at home. I love the way gimp'd stars turn out. Photoshopped stars look icky. >.< Apparently the guys in my class last year at OTC like it. :) Oh, and it has three faves! W00t. Not bad considering it's my first space deviation.
The girl I mentioned before as being in my OTC class dropped out. wuss.
On to my second subject:
I have decided to start reading some of those books that I should have read, but haven't yet. Stuff deemed 'classic'. I've started off with Alice in Wonderland. I never really thought the smoking caterpillar was that weird until a girl from Blue Lack commented on how it was 'totally smoking a hookah', then I was like 'whoa, you're right'. I don't remember any large amounts of pepper or a baby turning into a pig at all, or fishy/froggy messengers being in the movie. There were no beautiful girls in this like there were in Miyuki-chan in Wonderland either. The book I checked out from the library has both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass combined into one. Because I finished Wonderland today I've started on Looking Glass.
After I finish that one I plan to begin Death on the Nile and 2001: A Space Odyssey. According to my mom, she read every Agatha Christie book she could get her hands on, so depending on how much I like it I'll probably do that too. If you're wondering how I chose these books in this order it's because I read Miyuki-chan in wonderland and wanted to see where that was coming from. Then in the back of the Case Closed manga there are reading suggestions, DotN is included. Then 2001: A Space Odyssey is referenced a lot and sounds like it could be good. They're in the order received as holds at the library.

Heroes ep. 2.1 comments
*puts room in movie mode [lights off, etc.]*
Warning: spoilers for the season premier and/or first season of Heroes may be included, I dunno.
That was awesome. (I'm completely over using that word as of late) I loved how Hiro's Hero (that sounds weird) ended up being a gaijin! The "What village is that?" "Otsu." scene was interesting. Did Hiro screw up time? or did the story told change through time?
That weird little symbol thing? I already don't like it. It seems bad. To put it simply.
(Edit: The heroes wiki is using the scary symbol as its icon!)
I really want to re-watch season one, I missed too much stuff, like all of Hiro's dad (well, not all, but most) And so with that last thing I was more of "nooo" because I'm a Hiro fangirl than a Kaito fangirl. Ando was one of those characters I started out disliking and then being okay with. I didn't like his 'system' for getting money. He was oh so close to getting the sword there in time but noo... meanie writers.
My ADD is really coming out in this. While I was watching it I had a zillion things to say, but I've forgotten. Of course.
I had heard of twitter from Megatokyo before. Yesterday (or the day before, not sure) I got one. I've been posting to it a lot. Spamming might be more accurate. I have it set up as a little thing in the right column of my blog.
Journeyman has been playing behind me for the past 45 minutes. It doesn't sound like a show I'd like despite the timetravel. Building a Mystery would have been more fitting had it shown up in Moonlight or something along those lines.
I decided I like the labels for posts and have begun to overuse those too. Bad habit of mine isn't it? Over using things? When I click "Show all" for the labels it's three rows long already. yeash.
That's all that's coming to mind at the moment, so g'night no one. (not like any one reads this)

woo. We started the Computer Donation Project at OTC last week. Today I wandered off towards a strip mall near me. I got two $5 donations from individuals and one lady didn't have anything on her (which means maybe latter), but was also willing to donate a computer. (cool) Benitos (a pizza place at the strip mall) donated $60! This means I have to make them a sign to carry at the walkathon, but that's okay. Curves donated $10; my mom $5. Bringing me to a total of $85! Woo Hoo!
I'm half watching/listening to Chuck. The ballet scene was really cute. ^^ The whole ninja lady thing was kinda lame though, and if she really is part of some organization they'd so be able to get something off the computer that fell off the shelf. It takes a heck of a lot more than that to erase data. It just means you have do a bunch of pain in the neck stuff that would be easy for an organization with a ninja lady of her caliber.
(Edit on chuck: eeks! Will he get there in time? It's the first episode. What d'you think?)
I can't wait to see heroes! squee~
I wonder who they'll be fighting this time? In TV guide they mentioned a villain worse than Sylar. Uhh, is it just me or do the villains always get worse or stay exactly the same as ever? It isn't like they'd make the villain more boring than before, right? That isn't anything new at all. Hiro better be as awesome as ever and I hope to see more of the kid (Micah?) He seemed like he could be interesting. I didn't like his mom though, the split personality thing has been done too many times on One Life to Live for me to find it interesting.
On the other hand, house with, like, forty job applicants ought to be interesting. I guess by episode four he narrows it down to less than ten or so. I was really mad with the getting rid of House's team, but TV guide (I bought it because it had a Hugh Laurie interview; Hugh: "I am not pregnant!" An eye catching line for the cover of the mag.) ...but TV guide said that the ducklings have just taken different possitions in the hospital. How much you wanna bet that Cameron is working with Wilson?
I'm gonna start a new post for my Heroes commentary and more stuff. Why? 'cause I want them to be separate from my 'I hope blah blah blahs'.

It's been over a year since I last posted anything.
I am completely unsurprised by this fact. Since then a ton of stuff has happened. I wonder how much I can cram in here between homework, cooking macaroni (and eating it), and goofing off with what ever other random things I find to do.
My mom and I went to Alpena for the fourth of July again. Unfortunately the fireworks were canceled because of the start switch. >.< (*typing with one hand and holding the mac'n'cheese pan with the other*) We were sitting there for hours... and of course I promised a friend that I'd take pics with the camera she's loaning me. You'd think they could get them right considering they have a whole year to prepare and it isn't like they haven't done it before. They were going to do them the next night, but there were storms. I tried to get some lightning pics, but I don't think it worked. I wouldn't know though, seeing as they still haven't been developed.
We stopped by that same antique mall, but didn't find anything neat this time. And you know how I mentioned that little plate from last year? I hung it up above my light switch in my room. It fit perfectly between my poster and the door frame. I ended up bumping it and it broke. T.T and to make it worse I had to stupidly run my hand across the carpet looking for pieces. Well, I did find one. >.< anyways...
Okay... other stuff...
OTC - Oakland Technical Center - where a bunch of high schoolers from different schools go to get vocational training. There's floral, and culinary, and automotive... I go there for 'Computer Maintenance and Networking Technology.' For the 06/07 school year I went during the 'pm' afternoon class and only saw the 'am' guys (because I was the only girl the entire day in the CMNT class) at LAN parties or the walkathon. This year (07/08, my senior year) I'm in the AM class because my school decided to change the scheduling from 6 to 7 class hours and OTC is now AM only.
From the beginning of June til the 29th I kept going to OTC to get my A+ OS (I already got my A+ Core/Hardware) because the test was going to expire on the 30th. If I didn't get it I would have had to start from the beginning to get my A+ essentials this year. I ended up passing like most of the of the pm class and unlike most of the am class)
I'm currently trying to get my Network+ cert. blah blah blah... It's boring. Though there was a girl in the first years, but I think she dropped out. She did mention disliking the fact that we were the only two girls. Today we played a jeopardy game and I pwned. I would have won if I had bid more, but I was in a rush [to catch the bus, of course I had to wait for the bus driver like always].
I'm finishing up the post I started on the 19th. Today's the 20th. There used to be more. I forgot what I was going to type. So I'm just gonna post already. Lest this rot as a draft and never be posted.
Woo! I finally got around to bugging bravehost about the fact I couldn't log in! I'm going to start working on my website again. If only my school had TextPad.
One program they do have that I never will is CS3/Photoshop/whateveryouwanttocallit. Last year I discovered from cKy-sound's test planet a tutorial on making planets and thus began to work on one in Desktop Publishing last year. I'm starting from scratch this time around. Last time I made it the size of the entire picture so the fuzzy atmosphere was cut off. >.< I'm thinking I'll try to find a different texture too. The one I'm using at the moment is really boring.
